“This is the doctrine he was wont to teach,
How divers persons witness in each man,
Three souls which make up one soul.”
They are described by Theosophists as “(1) The fluidic perisoul or astral body; (2) The soul or individual; and (3) The spirit, or Divine Father and life of his system.” (See The Perfect Way, Lecture I., 9.) These three souls make up, with the material body, the fourfold nature of man.
